Description

Morphology

The doline measures about 11 metres in diameter. Its floor consists of a chaos of large blocks.

Progression

Among the blocks on the floor, several entrances lead to a passable entrance that is descended by downclimbing. After a small chamber beneath the collapse, a 3-metre shaft opens whose floor is visible.

Other details

General description of the doline on 11 novembre 2024: caution, very unstable. Apparently this doline is evolving very quickly: large blocks have fallen since the last visit.

Geology: Upper Barremian. Presence of fossils in the hole (bivalves, mussels?). The blocks collapsed in the collapse are different from the rock at the surface.
